INZ insisted on a Chinese trade certificate; we showed why it did not apply
- Visa
- Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV)
- Approved
- May 2026
Immigration New Zealand applied its internal guidance and required a Chinese special-operations certificate. We set out the Chinese regulations and the AEWV was approved for five years.
During assessment Immigration New Zealand applied its internal guidance without regard to the facts and required a Chinese “special operations” certificate.
We researched the relevant Chinese regulations, put the evidence to Immigration New Zealand and persuaded it. The work visa was approved for five years, and we are now preparing the children’s student visas.
